An innovative soft drum case with innovative features worthy a detailed investigation.

Ahead Armor Tom Cases combine the snugness and smaller dimensions of soft cases, while still retaining the resistance and strength of hard plastic cases. Additionally, Ahead has made it easier than ever to get your drum in and out of its case with the 'Dynazip' zipper. The cutaway design allows the top and bottom of the case to completely separate, eliminating tight squeezes and vacuum effects.

Ahead drum cases are the best I've found. They are well built. They readily fit drums with RIMS style mounts and other protrusions. By making it easier to remove and return drums to cases, they reduce time and effort. They are lighter and less bulky than hard cases; but unless you are shipping or abusing them, they provide more than adequate protection.
